H. Brock Barkley III - Artificially Intelligent Guy

Brock's journey from Wisconsin to Seattle included a pit-stop in Redmond, after Microsoft acquired the successful start-up Jellyfish where Brock was Chief Scientist and the principal architect of the platform that is now Microsoft's Bing Shopping. Brock brings to Rakuten PopShops a rich, wonderfully geeky melange of experience in the areas of search, artificial intelligence, context, machine learning, and data integration and fusion. He's also funny and his dad worked at NASA - how cool is that?!?
